The Aiwa Mega CD, also known as the Aiwa CSD-G1M, is an Aiwa CD player with features compatibility with Sega Mega Drive and Sega Mega-CD games. Released exclusively in Japan in September 1994, the device is notable for being one of the rarest Mega Drive variants ever released.

Hardware

The Aiwa Mega CD is comprised of two components: a CD player with radio functionality, and a matching dock which adds the game hardware. The two components interface via a separate connection cable.

Due to the Sega Mega Drive cartridge slot being located on the very bottom-front of the unit, there is not enough clearance to attach a Sega 32X. However, if the unit is seated on the edge of a shelf, or rotated and seated on its side, a 32X can be attached and will function properly (although the weight of the 32X itself will place unnecessary wear on the cartridge connectors, and is not advised for such limited-release hardware.)
